Hi ther, i am new to this forum so go easy on me

, i was just wondering wether you can fit a cooper s supercharger onto a cooper 1.6 ?

If so how much would i be looking for a secound hand supercharger ? and every thing that i would need to fit ?

would it need a much stronger gearbox and clutch ?

Thanks alot Ben

Hi, welcome to MINI2

Have a look at this thread, it may answer some of your questions.

Basically, their are quite a few differences in the engine/drivetrain between the Cooper and Cooper S to handle the extra power so it probably won't be straightforward or cheap!

yer but noo

yer but noo

yes it can be done with enough time and money, is it an econmical route? no

only slightly better off by dropping a "s" engine in into cooper still a no no if the cash front is important

not forgetting you will have to buget for new bonnet as well,
and silly insurance as modified, might be more than a gp

much better off with an s to start with

Forget it. Sell your cooper & buy an 's' if you want a supercharger.
